I think you all are missing the forest for one tree.

What a golden opportunity to get laws changed that many of you don't like.

What better reason to carry a handgun then to protect one's loved ones and oneself from all those big bad pit bull type man killers.

Yeah I've had a few run in's with vicious dogs and I've even had a bear or two try to take me out.
I'm also keenly aware that I have ten times (or more) chance of dying in a motor vehicle accident then I do of loosing any blood to a pit bull or grizzly bear.

So some dame with a dog gets killed by that dog, yup that's a tragedy.
I wonder how many folks died on Alberta's highways this week?

Where's the chorus of calls to ban all motor vehicles?

Fact is cars are a greater threat to human life then the meanest dog ever born.

Last I heard non of us will live forever. There are hundreds of thousands of ways to die.
I refuse to go through life worrying about something that most likely will never happen to me, or to 99.9 percent of the population, when the results if it should happen, are the same as much more likely scenarios and one way or another, are inevitable anyway, sooner or later.
